First of my Summer 2017.



Well yes you read it right, this trip that I'm about to share with you guys was my first this summer. 'Coz we ended the school year a bit late, around third week of May. So anyway, summer isn't over for me. :))) 

This trip was one of those "biglaan na lakad". I was with my close friends that time, Eunice & Oliver because of a "biglaang tambay" hahaha. We were on our way to our house from my sister's place when we randomly passed by a clothing shop and decided to look around. Then, we saw a bunch of swimsuits and other summer ready outfits and laughed about how & where we would wear such outfits because we weren't going anywhere. That's when Eunice asked us to have an out-of-town trip. Eunice & her boyfriend already wanted to go somewhere since she'll be going back to school on the 2nd week of June. While me & Mic also wanted to go somewhere for my vacation but I know I wouldn't be allowed if it will only be the two of us hahaha. So, since she asked us to go with them I decided to tell them about Zambales and how me & Mic wanted to go there. Mic's brother has a place there which was in front of the beach. It was also said to be a surfing spot. Cool. Haha. Then suddenly all of us became excited for the said trip and that was our only topic for the whole night. So to end the story short, natuloy ang lakad hahaha. Mas natutuloy talaga kapag biglaan. :))

I think we had one week before the trip or a little over than a week. We really decided to push through with it because we thought that it could be our only summer trip this year hahaha. Good thing we made it possible :) Yayyyy!!

They slept over at our house the night before the trip so that we can all go together to Roosevelt where we would meet Pat (Eunice's boyfriend). Thanks to him we had a ride going to Zambales. Hehe thank you! :) We slept at around 12:30am already, I guess. We decided to leave our house by 2:30am. Ang aga no hahaha. But we already left Manila at 3:30? 

Before leaving our house. :)

I think we arrived at around 7-7:30. Not really sure about the time then. Haha. When we arrived it was really raining hard. But all of us were so optimistic that it will soon stop and it will become sunny. 


this was the house of Mic's brother :)
Thank you Kuya Bjorn for letting us stay here for a day :)

Hi guys! 








While waiting, we had our breakfast first and after that we had the go signal that we could try to go to one of the islands. Yay! Even if it would still be raining, Mic said that we could try surfing :) I was kinda excited for that 'coz I've been wanting to try it for a long time. But sadly, we didn't get to try it. Umaraw na eh hahaha. Which was really a good thing. We were able to go to two places; Agnaem Cove and the bonus one, Capones Island. 

This was the one in front of their house.

Off we go.
Thanks again to Mic for the boat hehe.

Ganda ng kuha eh hahaha!!





Suko na ba sa init? Hahaha. 

In this island, we can actually climb to the top to have a better look at it. But it was only me & Mic who wanted to give it a try while my friends just waited for us. And I'm glad I did it.

This was the only place that we were supposed to go to due to the swell. But luckily, we were able to push for a second one, the Capones Island. 

Off to Capones Island.
This photo does not do any justice to how big the waves were during that time.
Hahaha.

Smile kahit natatakot na hehe

The path leading to the other side of the island.

Halfway there :)

Capones Island can also be viewed from a better angle at the top and this time we all went to see it. The view was breathtaking. 

No filter needed for such a great view.

*this was the right side*

We wouldn't waste this chance to take a photo hehe. 
Groufie:))

The next photos were taken by Mic Pabon.









It was picture perfect. The view from the top was amazing. :) 


At lunch time, we decided to go back to the house because sooner or later it will already start to rain. We got back at around 1pm and had a quick rest and we're off to have our lunch. We had both our breakfast & lunch at the same carinderia just near their house. :) 

After our lunch, we went back to the house to take a shower and a nap as well. We really had one of our best sleeps there. It was so good. The sound of the sea was really relaxing. I wish we could've stayed longer. Why didn't we plan on spending days there? Hahaha oh right, my parents won't agree hahaha. Maybe just an overnight next time? Hehe. Hi to my parents if you're reading this HAHAHAHA. 

Until our next trip guys :)

:)



For our dinner, we decided to eat at Xtremely Xpresso in Subic. It was Mic's suggestion :) And it didn't fail us. The food was great! We had the Truffle Pasta, Chicken Wings & this very huge pizza. It has two flavors; one is the Chicken BBQ while the other one is the Cheesy Tuna. Sobrang nakakabusog ng isang slice :)) It's also affordable. Sulit na siya for its price :)

Mic's hand as comparison to how big the pizza was :)

This will definitely be a trip to be remembered. It was a chill kind of adventure with these guys. Yung tipong relaxed lang lahat. 'Coz that's what we wanted in the first place. To have a day off from the busy city. And we got it. Haaaaayyyyy. So relaxing. I wish I could stay there for a week hahaha! 

So that ends my First of Summer story. Haha thanks for reading again guys. Till my next post! 

By the way, here's a link to a video I made for this said trip. Thanks in advance for watching!
